Integrating the STOP-BANG Score and Clinical Data to Predict Cardiovascular Events After Infarction: A Machine Learning Study
2020, ChestCitation Excerpt :We studied patients who were admitted with an acute MI to the coronary unit of our institution and observed that 73% of them showed at least an intermediate risk of OSA by the STOP-BANG score. This prevalence is in line with the results reported by McCormack et al29 on the prevalence of significant STOP-BANG scores among patients with MI (approximately 75%) and by the largest prospective study to date, the Sleep and Stent study, in which among 1311 patients who were treated with PCI, 45.3% showed OSA (ie, apnea-hypopnea index ≥1510). Notably, this estimates link with a clinical profile reflected in the worrisome epidemiologic estimates of overweight and obesity in Mexico30 and worldwide.
Proportion of surgical patients with undiagnosed obstructive sleep apnoea
2013, British Journal of AnaesthesiaCitation Excerpt :The specificity for a STOP-BANG score of 5, 6, and 7 to predict severe OSA is 74%, 88%, and 96%, respectively.28 In a recent series of 135 patients presenting with MI, 74% of those with confirmed MI had a STOP-BANG score suggestive of high risk of OSA.29 Undiagnosed OSA has been associated with an increased risk of perioperative complications.9 30
A screening tool of obstructive sleep apnea: STOP-bang questionnaire
2013, Sleep Medicine ClinicsCitation Excerpt :The STOP-Bang questionnaire has been used worldwide for screening patients with OSA. It has been validated in surgical patients,21 the general population,22,23 and patients referred to sleep clinics.24 In a study of patients in a sleep clinic setting, Silva and colleagues22 found that the STOP-Bang questionnaire had a higher sensitivity to predict moderate to severe (87.0%) and severe (70.4%) sleep-disordered breathing, whereas the 4-variable screening tool including sex, BMI, blood pressure, and snoring had a higher specificity to predict moderate to severe and severe sleep-disordered breathing (93.2% for both).
Screening for obstructive sleep apnea among individuals with severe mental illness at a primary care clinic
2012, General Hospital PsychiatryCitation Excerpt :To our knowledge, STOP-Bang scores have not been utilized to screen for OSA in SMI patients. The 69% positive screening rate for OSA in this study is disturbingly high compared to a rate of 23% in a large study of adult surgical patients (n= 2877) using a similar screening instrument, whereas a rate of 74%was reported among patients recently admitted for a myocardial infarction using the STOP-Bang screen [26,27]. A recent study that screened for OSA using the Berlin Questionnaire in overweight bipolar disorder patients found that 54% were at high risk for OSA [28].
